Always check your 5th wheel

Nice place to have that happen.

 

No kidding, it probably punched the pavement too.

 

That one is a nice place. It's amazing it hung onto the 5th wheel that far. Assuming it pulled out of parking spot.

 

And now my "I just don't know" question of the day.
Can that happen - or did someone do that to this unfortunate as a really funny joke?

Sometimes trailers can take a bit of distance to unhook. Like if its really cold out and just doesn't hook all the way, you can get a good distance down the road and then boom! its off.

 

Which is why I don't just tug a couple times. I physically crouch with flashlight in hand and look to make sure I'm good to go.

 

I hook up to the trailer, do a couple tugs, get out and visually check, do my walk around/pt and before i leave i tug it again. overkill never hurts

 

I think that's one of those new self driving trailers.
